University Research Fellow

Found in: beBee S GB - 2 weeks ago

York, United Kingdom York St John University Full time

York St John University (YSJU) is an ambitious, modern university at the heart of historic York and there has never been a more exciting time to join us.

We are establishing a new research culture driven by research groups and cross-university institutes, and are growing rapidly. Our research grant success is increasing, as is the number of postgraduate researchers we have at the university. In the recent Research Excellence Framework (2021), we submitted over half of our academic staff, nearly three times more than in the previous assessment. As a consequence, combined with world-leading research in each one of our academic schools, we received one of the highest percentage increases in research funding from UKRI of any university receiving over £1m.

The Role

Fellows will join either the Institute for Social Justice or the Institute for Health and Care Improvement. A mentor will also support and guide their career development to complement access to a range of training opportunities to enhance their professional, teaching, and research skills. A small annual research expenses budget will also be provided via the institute to conduct the research and disseminate research findings.

Information on the two institutes can be found on our website and by contacting the directors, Professor Matthew Reason (m.reason@yorksj.ac.uk) and Professor Garry Tew (g.tew@yorksj.ac.uk).

Required Skills and Experience

Areas of particular interest to the Institute for Social Justice include participatory and co-productive research; racial justice research; and work with children and young people or disabled and neurodiverse communities. Areas of particular interest to the Institute for Health and Care Improvement include physical activity for health, applied mental health research, and social care research.

Applicants should have a PhD and evidence of high-quality publications indicative of the ability to successfully undertake an independent programme of impactful research.

Fellowships are to be undertaken full-time for a period of three-years or part-time for a period of six- years.

To be eligible to apply for the fellowship applicants must have completed their PhD in the last 3 years (any time during 2021 to application deadline). The three years does not include periods of parental leave or periods of absence due to ill-heath.

The application form includes a question asking candidates to detail a 3-year research plan that will form part of the assessment of each candidate. This should include information on background and justification of the planned research, aims/research questions, methods, planned outcomes/outputs, resource requirements, and be no longer than three A4 pages (single line-spaced, 12 font).

Additional Information

Applicants should also identify a potential mentor within York St John University aligned to the programme of research. A letter of support should be provided from this member of academic staff as part of the application. Without a letter of support from an appropriate mentor applications cannot be considered further.
